MKDA delivered this turnkey workspace at 1345 Avenue of the Americas for a real estate investment trust, working closely with both the landlord and tenant. The design builds upon the existing framework with hospitality-driven details, repurposing much of the tenant’s furniture while introducing new elements that bring warmth and character to the space.

The pantry serves as a central gathering area, where open ceilings, dramatic pendant lighting, and rich millwork establish a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. Pops of greenery and colorful ancillary furniture introduce energy and contrast, reinforcing the space’s social and collaborative function. MKDA organized the main work area with assigned open workstations equipped with sit-to-stand desks, while interior private offices with glass fronts balance openness and privacy. Strategically placed lounges offer alternative work settings, seamlessly integrating into the overall layout. At the entrance, the reception embraces a clean, minimalist aesthetic, anchored by a custom Arnold reception desk with integrated lighting. The executive suite extends this elevated feel, incorporating a stylish coffee bar and an adjacent conference area that create a polished, private workspace.
